Futurama - Episode Guide

A pizza delivery boy named Philip J. Fry accidentally stumbles into a cryogenic freezer on December 31, 1999 and awakens on New Year's Eve in the year 2999, where he meets a cyclops career counselor named Leela, an alcoholic robot named Bender, and his future nephew Professor Farnsworth.

Fry gets kicked out of the Planet Express building and tries to find a place to live. When Bender's antenna wreaks havoc on the TV reception, Bender is kicked out of their new apartment and Fry must decide whether or not a place to live is more important than his best friend.

Leela meets Captain Zapp Brannigan on a mission to rescue animals from a hollow planet, depleted of all the dark matter that once filled it, on the verge of collapse, but Brannigan jails the crew for interfering. This episode sees the introduction of Nibbler.

When Fry discovers that he's a billionaire thanks to a thousand years of compound interest (on 93 cents), he uses the money to buy back things from his time. This includes spending millions on a can of anchovies, which are extinct in the year 3000. Mom, head of Mom's Friendly Robot Company, wants the anchovies for very different reasons.

The Omicronians invade Earth, demanding to see the lost final episode of the 1999 TV show Single Female Lawyer (which was cut off after Fry accidentally spilled soda on the TV broadcast console in 1999). The Planet Express crew must re-enact the episode to appease the invading aliens.

When Fry wins a free tour of the Slurm soda factory, he and his friends split off from the tour group and make a horrifying discovery concerning the secret ingredient that gives Slurm its famous addictiveness.
